Nurit, a ten year old girl from a village in Northern Israel wakes up to the fearful eyes of her mother and the other women from her neighborhood. The year is 1973, in the midst of the Yom Kippur War, she is given valium and informed that her father is missing in action.

This is the journey of a girl who grows up in a world of chaos and confusion. Her father is missing and her mother is running around the country trying to discover what happened to him.
